...backlog of airliner orders already totals 1,102 at Boeing, 555 at Airbus and 320 at Douglas. A carrier that orders a jet today will have to wait as long as three years for delivery. Phoenix-based America West Airlines, which ordered 25 Boeing 737s and 757s last week, will take delivery of the first one in 1992. The jet-building boom may well last a decade or more. One Douglas study estimates that 2,500 commercial airliners -- 40% of the world's commercial-jet fleet of 6,200 planes -- will be retired during the next 15 $ years...
...Bucs, trailing 7-0 on Robert Perryman's 6-yard touchdown run with 7:24 gone in the third quarter, had tied the game on Vinny Testaverde's 15-yard pass to Mark Carrier and John Carney's extra point with 2:09 left in the fourth quarter...
Well, yes. But it is also becoming evident that cholesterol can be either foe or friend, depending on the way it travels through the body. Cholesterol's sinister image derives from the fact that much of the substance is swept through the bloodstream by potentially damaging carrier particles called LDLs (for low-density lipoproteins). LDLs are called "bad" cholesterol because an excess of cholesterol carried by them can lead to the buildup of harmful deposits in the arteries. The other cholesterol carriers, known as HDLs (for high-density lipoproteins), are considered "good" because, far from being killers, they may actually...
...particles that make up the so-called lipid transport system, which moves cholesterol through the bloodstream. Though individual cells can make their own cholesterol, much of their supply comes from the bloodstream, arriving from the liver aboard macromolecular ferryboats, known as very-low-density lipoproteins, or VLDLs. These carrier particles are loaded in the liver with cholesterol and dietary fats known as triglycerides, which are used by cells for energy or stored for future...
...particularly concerned about what appear to be systemic deficiencies with management personnel. The most serious findings of the inspections reflected a lack of management knowledge of, and experience with, complex commuter air carrier regulations as well as substandard administration of training and deficient aircraft inspection programs...
